How To Get Cash App To Let You Borrow Money |
Step 1: Are You Even Worthy? (Cash App Edition)
Cash App, unlike your cool aunt who always lends you a twenty, has some requirements before you can unlock its borrowing potential. These include:
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.![]()
- Being an active user: Think of it like a VIP club, but instead of velvet ropes, it's regular deposits.
- Having good credit karma: Cash App doesn't judge (unlike your grandma who raised an eyebrow at your ramen noodle diet), but it does like responsible financial behavior.
If you meet these criteria, congratulations! You've passed the "Not a total financial black hole" test.

Step 2: Unlocking the Borrow Feature: It's Not Rocket Science (but it might feel like it)
Here's where things get a tad tricky. The "Borrow" feature isn't always readily available. It might be hiding like a shy panda in a bamboo forest. But fear not, intrepid borrower! Here's how to find it:
- Open the Cash App and do a little happy dance. No, seriously, it loosens you up for the financial tango you're about to embark on.
- Look for the "Banking" tab. If you find it, high five yourself! You're halfway there.
- Now, the crucial part: Scan for the word "Borrow." If it's there, rejoice! You're officially eligible to beg borrow from Cash App.
If you don't see "Borrow," don't fret. Cash App might still be assessing your financial... ahem worthiness.
Step 3: Borrowing the Moolah: The Not-So-Glittery Part
Alright, so you've unlocked the "Borrow" feature. Here's the not-so-fun part:
- You can only borrow between $20 and $200. So, forget funding your extravagant yacht purchase.
- There are fees involved. Because, you know, businesses gotta make money somehow (even the ones that let you borrow small amounts of cash).
- You'll need to repay the loan within one or two pay cycles. No dilly-dallying allowed!
But hey, at least it's an option, right?
